On Wednesday, 6th of March, the Annual Science Fair was held in our school, and we certainly learnt new and interesting facts that we never knew we could experience learning.

The students from middle and high school were divided into groups, and each chose a different topic to demonstrate by doing live and practical experiments. Furthermore, they competed and presented their results in the form of a report, display board, and/or models that they had created.

Dear Parents/Students,

Bearing in mind the paramount importance of our students’ career and future prospects, we at T. I. S. would like to inform you about The Higher Education and Career Fair 2017 which will be held in Jeddah on October 27, 2017 at the Movenpick Hotel.

Leaders from universities across the world will help you explore opportunities, answer your questions, and help navigate the system.

You will be getting the required information from the delegates of top-of-range institutes; thus exploring a wide spectrum of career opportunities from international colleges and universities.

Wake Up Wednesday is a weekly radio segment that replaces the mundane power-points with something that’s more motivating and energizing.

It was conceptualized and begun by the SLC heads with a nudge from their English teacher. The topics vary every week and also depends on which department is taking the helm. For example, the first broadcast was taken over by the C&I whose topic of choice was to remind the seniors of their university deadlines and for the younger batches to be prepared earlier. I personally helped with the technical aspects on both broadcast by playing or arranging any media file needed. This project has received mixed reviews, but mostly positive especially from the staff, students, and the head of Senior School herself.

On behalf of Thamer International School’s faculty and staff, we would like to extend our warm greetings to all new students. We are looking forward to working with you as partners in education.

Here, at Thamer International School, we are committed to providing a supportive and positive learning environment where the curriculum is chosen to help develop and nurture your children’s skills so that they belong, learn and blossom.

First years at school are essential in establishing well-built foundations for learning. Together we will work to achieve the highest possible outcome for each child’s learning experience. We aim to reach major development in your children’s reading, counting and writing skills throughout the year.

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome back to school! We hope you had a joyful and refreshing summer vacation. We have gotten off to a great start, with students quickly getting back into the school routine. During the 2017-2018 school year, we will continue to build upon and refine our proven foundation of good work, honored traditions, and continued excellence in education. We would even like to welcome Grade 4 students in the Middle School, hoping that this year will be a fun- filled and a fruitful year for them.

Each day we work very hard to provide a safe, engaging and rewarding educational environment for all students equally.

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the advent of the 2018-2019 academic school year at T. I. S. Middle Schools! We hope that you have had an enjoyable summer vacation. It is this time of the year that we become energized for the students and staff to return as we continue to prepare for the upcoming year. The T. I. S. Middle Schools’ theme this year will be “H.A.T.S. off to Learning”. This code consists of the following character traits: H-Habits, A-Attitudes, T-Talents and S-Skills. It is our hope that every individual connected to T. I. S. Middle Schools implements these traits throughout the school year and beyond.

The school envisions application of new teaching and learning techniques with renewed enthusiasm to strive towards this goal.

Dear Parents,

Senior School extends a very warm welcome to one and all. Reflecting back on the year gone by, T. I. S. is very proud of the achievements and milestones conquered. As a constant effort to realize our vision and taking curriculum enrichment to another level, inductive learning is highly endorsed at T. I. S., and this academic year saw rigorous efforts on various levels to enhance Project Based Learning. Consequently, the goal was attained with resultant outcome in the form of outstanding projects and events. This accomplishment has definitely been a striving factor to incorporate more inductive methods in the coming year to ensure our pupils get the unique learning experience T. I. S. envisions.

The sun is bright

And the birds are flying

As they gently chirp

A woman notices

Women’s Empowerment Day was one of the many events hosted by the Senior School of Thamer International Schools.The beloved students and teachers were given the opportunity to express their solicitude regarding this remarkable day by an entertaining and delightful activity.

During this event, the paramount role of women has been magnified by painting motivating phrases on banners that were hung on the walls of T.I.S. The ambiance was full of positivity.

الزمان هو أحد أيام الألفية الثالثة، المكان في إحدى المختبرات العلمية المدرسية، فجأة دخل الحسين بن الحسن ابن علي بن سينا، نظر إلي، وتوجه إلي مباشرة، كنت في غاية الاضطراب والسعادة! نعم إنه هو الشيخ الرئيس ابن سينا أعظم أطباء عصره والعصور اللاحقة، اقترب مني وابتسم ابتسامة تدل على مزيج من الفخر والفرح والتواضع.

- أهلاً وسهلاً بعالمنا الجليل، كيف حالك يا سيدي؟

- بخير، في أحسن حال والحمد لله، ولكن كيف عرفتني؟

اعتادت مدارس ثـــامــر العالمية أن تحتفل كل سنة باليوم العالمي؛ وهو يوم يتعرّف فيه الطلبة على بعض بلدان العالم وعاداتهم وتقاليدهم، وتراثهم الشعبي. وفعلاً فقد تقرر هذه السنة الاحتفال بهذا اليوم، وتمّ وضع خطة شاملة من قبل الإدارة؛ للعمل على إنجاح هذا الحفل، حيث قام كل معلم بتدريب فصل من فصول المرحلة الابتدائية والمتوسطة على تمثيل بلدٍ يختاره الطلبة.

بدأنا نتدرب وعشنا جوّاً رائعاً امتاز بالتعاون والسعادة والانضباط، وبعد جهد واجتهاد أصبحنا جاهزين للعروض على مسرح المدرسة أمام والدينا وأساتذتنا وزملائنا الطلبة من المراحل المختلفة.

قُمنا بعرض فقرات مختلفة عن بلدان عربية وعالمية، ارتدينا زيّها الرسمي وعرّفنا بها ثم قدّمنا عروضاً مسرحية ورقصات شعبية تخصّها.

كان يوماً مميزاً بالفعل، شعر الحضور بالفرح والسعادة والفخر بما قدمناه من عروض. أشكر مدرستنا، وأشكر كل من ساهم في إنجاح هذا اليوم الجميل. أفتخر بعروبتي وانتمائي.

ليس من دمي ولحمي ولكن قرابتنا أعظم بكثير

الذي يفتح باب قلبي ويدخل إليه النور

من أضحكني حينما كانت الهموم تغرقني

من شاركني ألمي وقاسمني فرحتي

ليس أخي بالدم ولكنه أخي بالروح

أرواحنا متصلة ولو زالت أجسادنا
